• The Ewing Era in New York Ends
• The Spurs get Dennis the Menace
• Expansion Franchises Reset
• Iverson goes to the Motor City but Denver revs up
• Golden State Muscles-Up To Win A Title
• Nets get Tiny, lose Doc; Tiny gets hurt

• Melo joins Russ and PG in OKC
• The Butler did it (left the Timberwolves)
• Mitchell to the Cavs

On the latest episode of Over and Back, Jason and Rich revisit one of their favorite topics: 50-point games in NBA and ABA history.

The focus this time is on the last four seasons, which have seen 18% of all 50-point games in league history. They discuss the recent surge in 60-point games and new additions to the 70-point game club.

They also explore why there has been such a significant increase in 50-point games over the past few years, whether this trend is unprecedented, who is most likely to break the all-time 50-point game record, and more.

Jason Mann and Rich Kraetsch take a look at the NBA's Silver Anniversary team announced in 1971 and what it says about where the NBA stood at the time in the latest episode of the Over and Back Classic NBA Podcast.

Topics discussed on the episode:

The merits of the actual choices of the team (Paul Arizin, Bob Cousy, Bob Davies, Joe Fulks, Sam Jones, George Mikan, Bob Pettit, Bill Russell, Dolph Schayes, and Bill Sharman)

The decision to not include active players like Wilt Chamberlain, Oscar Robertson, Jerry West, and Elgin Baylor

A deep dive on some of the lesser-known nominees for the team, including Bob Feerick, Tom Gola, Slater Martin, George Yardley, and Max Zaslofsky

The fact that 1971 was the 25th anniversary of the founding of the BAA, not the formation of the NBA in 1949 -- thus ignoring the legacy of the NBL, one of two predecessor leagues for the NBA

The background of the selection committee that chose the nominees for the team, including Celtics coach/GM Red Auerbach, Knicks president Ned Irish, and Warriors owner Eddie Gottlieb, and how their biases may have shaped the selections

Players who seem to have been overlooked in the process, including Cliff Hagan, Jack Twyman, and Larry Foust

Who Jason and Rich would have chosen for their Silver Anniversary teams

Jason and Rich attempt to circumvent Pat Riley's trademarks to discuss failed attempts at winning three NBA championships in a row. We look at each and every team that failed to make it three in a row, what may have caused them to miss out, roster changes in the offseason, internal turmoil and much more. 

Jason and Rich look at notable one-year stints with an NBA team that didn't work out as expected. Examples include Scottie Pippen going to the Houston Rockets, Dwight Howard's run as a Los Angeles Lakers, Paul Westphal's brief run as a Seattle Supersonic and many more! 

Jason and Rich look at the greatest games for 2018 Naismith Basketball Hall of Famers Ray Allen, Maurice Cheeks, Jason Kidd, Steve Nash, Grant Hill and Charlie Scott. 

We celebrate the career and legacy of the great Manu Ginobili and look back at his greatest performances in the latest edition of the Over and Back Classic NBA Podcast.

We talk about how Ginobili's creativity and craft helped redefine the NBA, how odd the Spurs will seem without any of their Big Three for the first time in 21 years, Ginobili's place among the all-time greats, how his low minute total affects how we will be remembered, how many Sixth Man of the Year awards he probably should have won, his dramatic 2004 Olympics game-winner vs. Serbia and his role in Argentina dethroning the U.S., his run-in with a bat, multiple playoff game-winners, and making a dramatic sacrifice for his time.

We also look at his six best games: outdueling LeBron James in Cleveland in 2009, breaking the hearts of Suns fans (on multiple occasions), and stepping up time after time when Tim Duncan or Tony Parker were injured or ineffective. 

Jason and Rich examine the longest tenures with an NBA team in history, discuss Dirk Nowitzki setting the NBA record for most seasons with one franchise, other players who stayed with one franchise for their entire careers and those with long tenures on a team but who couldn't quite finish their career with just one. 

Ben Taylor (Backpicks.com) joins Jason Mann to chat about Larry Bird's last great NBA performance, a 49-point triple-double in a 152-148 double OT win over Clyde Drexler and the Blazers, in the latest episode of the Over and Back Classic NBA Podcast.

We discuss a thrilling game with two buzzer-beaters from Bird and Kevin Gamble, how rare it is for two teams to score more than 148 points in the same game, time catching up to the Bird-McHale-Parish Celtics, how the early 1990s Blazers are a bit underappreciated, Bird managing to remain great even with major back trouble, and how both teams enjoyed the running game. We also share some thoughts on Terry Porter, Clifford Robinson, Danny Ainge, Reggie Lewis, and a young Rick Fox.

We also discuss Ben's recent Top 40 Best Careers in NBA History series (http://www.backpicks.com/2017/12/11/the-backpicks-goat-the-40-best-careers-in-nba-history/): ranking Kobe Bryant outside the top 10, LeBron James vs. Michael Jordan, and Reggie Miller and Patrick Ewing being better than perhaps you remember, and talk about some of his other projects.
